Internet connetion constantly dropping

I just signed up for the Home Internet this week and everything installed fine and I tought it was working.  My set up is the Arcadyan KVD21 5G gateway with a Nest Wifi mesh system.  I connected the Nest wifi to the gateway so I would not have to set up every device in my house.  The internet connection on the Nest Wifi will not stay on, it constantly drops and I am getting really frustrated with this.  I had high hopes I could finally get speeds at my house higher than 25Mbps and when it works, I do (150+).  What good is home internet if the connection constantly drops?

Furthermore, they promote you get a year of Paramount+, which I already have through my phone service.  I can't even watch Paramount+ when I do have a connection cause it tells me I am using a VPN, which I am not.

Might be time to just bite the bullet and send this back as it seems it is not ready for prime time.

  • So just wanted to update.  I never did call or message support, but I finally got around to plugging the gateway back up this week and decided that I would just put it in the basement by a window. not worrying about SINR values or anything.  Well that was 3 days ago and I haven't had a single issue (knocks on wood).  Roku is working, Paramount + is working, MLB.TV is working, no dropouts so far.  

    Technology is just dumb sometimes, that I all I can figure.

    SOMETIMES PHONES OR MICROWAVES OR OTHER DEVICES WILL KICK YOU OFF OF YOUR INTERNET  CUZ THERE PROBABLY TRYING TO ACCESS YOUR INTERNET...LIKE FRIENDS OR FAMILY DEVICES

  • Over the last 4-6 months, I've noticed that my service is getting worse. I live in Brooklyn and work in Camden, NJ a few times a months. My phone service is either non-existant or it goes to the Edge network. I've been doing this for 3 year and bad service is creeping beyond Camden. Is T-Mobile suddenly downsizing certain areas or am I delusional and it's always been bad?
